Albion: A Propulsive Tale of Family, Inheritance, and Colonial Legacies Set on a Rewilded English Country Estate - Hardcover
Synopsis
Albion explores the complexities of family, trauma, nature, human nature, landscape and escape in language that is as provocative as it is tender.”—Miranda Cowley Heller, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Paper Palace
A finely crafted, propulsive, and nuanced family saga of inheritance and accountability that shakes the country house novel to its foundations from the internationally acclaimed author of Expectation.
The Brooke family are gathering in their eighteenth-century ancestral home—twenty bedrooms of carved Sussex sandstone in the English countryside—to bury Philip: husband, father, and the blinding sun around which they have orbited their entire lives.
Eldest daughter Frannie, inheritor of a thousand acres, has dreams of rewilding and returning the estate to nature: a last line of defense against the coming climate catastrophe. Her brother Milo envisages a treetop haven for the super-rich where, under the influence of psychedelic drugs, a new ruling class will be reborn. Each believes their father has given them his blessing, setting them on a collision course with each other.
Isa, Philip’s estranged youngest child, only hopes to reconnect with her childhood love who still lives on the estate, to discover whether it is her feelings for him that are creating the fault lines in her marriage.
And then there is Clara, who arrives in their midst from America, shrouded in secrets and bearing a truth that will fracture all the dreams on which they’ve built their lives.
Beautifully layered and utterly compelling, Anna Hope’s multigenerational saga is a bold, brilliant, and deeply contemporary examination of family secrets, colonial legacies, and class, set against the backdrop of the climate crisis.

Glossy illustrated wrappers are bright and clean with light handling wear and minor wear at the edges, corners, and spine ends. Spine is straight without a visible reading crease, binding appears tight and square, and the page block is clean with slight edge irregularity. Pages are clean and bright. Publisher's uncorrected proof with "NOT FOR SALE" printed on the wrappers and prepublication promotional information on the rear cover.

Listing photos show the exact copy included in this sale. A contemporary English family saga examines generational wealth and class privilege through a dysfunctional wealthy family tied to a Sussex country estate. The novel draws on the tradition of English country-house fiction while bringing that form into the present through environmental conflict, conservation, and questions about the future of inherited land. Rewilding and ecological stewardship place the story within climate fiction and environmental fiction, while its treatment of old money, British class, and the legacy of empire broadens the family drama. The Sussex setting and strong sense of the English countryside also make the novel relevant to readers seeking contemporary British fiction rooted in a particular place. Seller Inventory # W_323
